So what does this all mean? According to the Washington Post, it means that the governing starts at 12:01, and that soon-to-be-President Obama, through a unique confluence of personal gifts and national/international crises, has a chance to be the most powerful and important president since FDR.
No pressure, Barack. And good luck.
